  • Irregardless, inflammable, idiom are all like nails on a chalkboard to me

  • Imo it's not about saying this or that org is least biased or less biased, it's acknowledging the biases present in all news orgs and comparing the reporting from multiple sources.

  • Three things I learned to use that helped with learning quickly: spaced repetition, the Feynman method, and following practice with self assessment/quizzing. Spaced repetition when taking notes and reviewing new concepts to help with retention. The Feynman method is eli5 to see where a reliance on jargon or assumptions may mask a lack of understanding. And quizzing after practice helps highlight where more work would be best spent during the next practice or lesson.

  • Same thing if you can override constitutional rights by executive fiat without an amendment ratified by Congress.

  • Jazzpunk is not a game I've heard of in a long time, great silly surrealism

    Manifold garden is great too

  • Time for leisure is great. Read a book, play an instrument, daydream, learn something new, challenge your beliefs about whether certain institutions are beneficial or not, take a walk, ask someone in a position of authority subversive questions, fly a kite, take a nap.

  • A bunch of arcade games become much more friendly to kids with infinite continues, shmups, fighters, brawlers, etc but for those you'll need to filter on violence. I'd probably also avoid anything RPG or story heavy.

    My picks would be Bubble bobble, Kirby on SNES, ice hockey on NES, Mario 1-3, super Mario kart, Tetris, monkey ball, Dr Mario. For Sega Sonic 1-3 & knuckles, ecco, robotnik's mean bean machine, Alex kidd, outrun

  • More encroachment on privacy and subscriptions from corpo tech monopolies that should be broken up, solar tech continuing to grow and replace other energy sector tech for consumer and industrial tier systems, material science advanced to increase battery capacity and charge rates, more software & hardware development tools for phones and non traditional computer/laptop devices, more variety in digital keyboards on phones built for swipe/auto complete and correct instead of traditional qwerty

  • Happy birthday, there's a bunch of other traditional birthday songs passed down in other languages and cultures that are so much better than happy birthday

  • It's cyclic, but each cycle builds on the last

  • Didn't they settle everything in the middle east under his first term? The Saudis sent Trump's inept, unqualified, security risk son in law nepotism hire Jared Kushner billions to manage afterward to get rich from to celebrate the long lasting peace they negotiated /s

  • Not even a second, it's sometimes less than 250-300ms. If I wasn't already anticipating it to fail and disengage as it went though the 2-lane wide turn I would have gone straight into oncoming traffic

  • One nice guitar or a couple decent guitars, one rare comic book or a shit load of common comic books

  • Around half of Monday is currently reviewing last week's and weekend's blessings and curses, consulting with oracles, witches, and wizards on standing up and handing off, checking the demon traps, refilling the incense holders, etc low risk rote stuff front loaded in case the weekend was rough. No meetings before 10 unless I'm talking with someone from another spacetime zone.

  • I'm more curious about what happens next than dejected about what has already transpired

    Exploration, curiosity, discovery can be great motivators
